"Do you have a persistent feeling of "not good enough" that follows you from work to relationships to family? Does your mind race with thoughts about what you could have done better or how you disappointed someone? Other people might tell you that you work really hard, but your inner critic says it is not enough. You often feel self-critical and overwhelmed.Sometimes you are so paralyzed by anxiety that you can't finish work projects, make phone calls, or see friends. I can help you learn to manage anxiety, silence your inner critic, and feel good about yourself."

"Please note that I'll be on Maternity leave July, 2017 - Spring, 2018. Please reach out if you'd like to be contacted when I return. I have spent over 20 years exploring my own mind/body connection and personal potential through yoga, meditation, hypnosis, triathlon training, rock climbing, cycling, and fire walking. I created Yin Warrior Health, a program designed to heal our relationship with food and body image, and BodyAwake, a unique holistic fitness which heightens physical/emotional sensitivity. I work best with people burdened with ineffectual patterns who know there is more to life than staying stuck!"

"People come to see me when they feel challenged by life circumstances, by depression, anxiety, or because they know that life holds more for them than they are currently experiencing. We can come to understand the roots of these experiences and to see where the blocks are to either living a life that feels like your own, or being more of yourself in the life that you have. I have found there to be a wide range of people who feel comfortable working with me, quite varied with regard to gender, age, stage of life, cultural background and sexual orientation."

"Understanding gender identity is a natural, healthy part of each person's development. This approach is a central part of my practice. I recognize that being transgender/trans, nonbinary, agender or gender expansive is not a mental illness and therefore often requires a specialized and affirming approach. My services help clients deepen their understanding of self, strengthen relationships, navigate systems and prepare for significant life events and decisions. I strive to work in partnership with my clients in order to develop an authentic connection where reflection, education, and support can take place."

"My intention is to create a safe, compassionate space where I will listen, guide and support you to experience yourself more fully and to awaken more aliveness, creativity, and meaning in your life. Through awareness of body and mind states and habitual patterns of thinking and relating, we will work together to transform limiting beliefs that keep you from a more fulfilled experience of life. We will lay the groundwork to release the pain of old stories, and to create internal resources to allow you to experience an embodied life with more joy, aliveness and meaning."

"My goal as a therapist is to serve as a compassionate witness, creating a safe space for clients to explore their whole selves - body, mind, and spirit. Together, we can map the territory of your lived experience and find the road that leads to a place of knowing, confidence, and satisfaction. I welcome the whole you. The places of lightness and the places of darkness. I welcome your multitude of backgrounds and experiences. I welcome the parts that follow the rules, as well as the rebel parts that march to a different beat. Come just as you are - to discover who you can become."

"We come to therapy to understand and solve our most complex personal challenges. When suffering goes deep enough, therapy is an intuitive response to problems that are emotionally complex and cannot be solved by our ordinary methods. Therapy alleviates our isolation by giving us the specialized and dedicated attention of a therapist. Therapy restores or kindles confidence in our ability to make it through difficult times. Lastly, it gives us some emotional distance, some sense of freedom, from the at times consuming turmoil of our personal lives by stimulating a deeper or broader understanding."

"My passion and specialization is working with children and their families, which I have experience with in both school and private practice settings. Do you have children who are bullied at school or are the bully? Do you have children who are failing their classes or seem uncharacteristically anxious or depressed?

Other prevelent issues in my work with both adults and children include: grief and loss, substance abuse, anger management, family reunification, divorce, and romantic relationships."

"Finding the support you need, in the form of a therapist, can feel daunting. Will she understand me? Will she get it? Will she judge me or think I'm crazy? These questions can get in the way of receiving the healing that is available to you. The only way to answer those questions is to take the next step and pick up the phone. By doing so, you set into motion the possibility of complete resolution from the circumstances that bring you suffering.

"Welcome. I do this work because I care deeply about healing through connection and compassionate relationships. I love working with people so they can learn about themselves, challenge old stories that may no longer serve, and ultimately live more authentic lives. Each of us is strong, powerful and beautiful, with unique gifts to offer this world. Yet sorrow is real, and having a safe and compassionate space to address grief, transition, relationship issues, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, and questions about gender and sexuality is fundamental and healing."

"Finding a therapist that can help can be a daunting endeavor. Finding one who specializes in hypnosis can be even more daunting. Allow me to assist you in the difficulties of your life so that together, we might generate relief and solutions to your ongoing pain.

"Inner life, intimacy, and the works of imagination that sustain us through drought are central in my clinical focus. In my practice I emphasize depth work, including insight and emotional experiencing, that may allow for problems that have not responded to more solution focused methods to resolve. A depth focus is particularly appropriate for people seeking more fulfilling relationships and rich inner lives in addition to the resolution of a concern; it may produce benefits including self-awareness, self-esteem, sense of life meaning, resolution of emotional issues, and deeper experiences of connection with others."

"I firmly believe that as hard as they are, difficult times are here to teach us something about ourselves. Every struggle can be seen as an opportunity to discover that which is holding us back, and the potential we carry inside. Often times, it is difficult to see a way out because pain, fear, and shame have a way of blindfolding us, taking away hope and clear vision. This is where I can help. I bring intelligence, compassion, and a discerning ear to help you illuminate your blind spots and find your way to healing."

"Sandra has received expert training in Hypnotherapy, Shamanism, Buddhist Psychology, and Energy Medicine from the Foundation of the Sacred Stream, Berkeley, California. Her interest in Hypnotherapy evolved after being introduced to meditation, trance work and journeying to connect with a helping spirit while in treatment for breast cancer. This experience opened her to exploring new avenues of healing to address physical, mental and emotional and spiritual "dis-ease." As a Depth Hypnosis practitioner she feels privileged to provide a safe container to support a client's full participation in their own healing by uncovering and understanding the root causes of their suffering."
